and coping strategies among dual career couple. By literature point of view, dual-career couples is one in which
the career of both husband and wife are taken seriously. Research has shown two type of challenges each type

The domain-specific antecedents of the work interfering-with-family conflict lie in the work domain and include
stressors such as the number of weekly hours devoted to work, flexibility of working hours, and work-role
conflict. The specific antecedents of the family-interfering-with work conflict lie in the family domain and include
stressors such as low levels of spousal support, the number of weekly hours devoted to family activities and the
number and ages of children. Coping strategy use differs significantly by work and family i.e. problem and
emotions focused coping strategy. The results were discussed from work life balances perspectives giving
various coping strategies.
